  He died 11/27/1896 – 22 Kislev 5657 – age 94.
  There’s a Solomon Jaffe (age 57) buried in that same gate, he died in 1897. I didn’t find the actual headstone yet.
  Hope someone can dig up some info on him.
  Rav Barit is buried on his left.

  There was A Rabbi Yedidya Jaffa a Rav in the city Boisk who was the son of Reb Avrum Abli Jaffa the Rav of Ponevizh.

  The famous Rav Rabbi Elchanan Sholom Jaffa from NY was a grandson of this RA”A Jaffa his father Reb Shimon Peretz was a son of RA”A.

  Being so, then Rabbi Israel Jaffa’s father was RE”SH’s uncle.

  Once again BZZ you came through with the detective work good job!!!!
  Rav Shimon Peretz also lived in the United States at one point. He eventually went to EY where he passed away.
  There is one more Jaffe listed Rabbi Shlomo Tuvia Jaffe, where does he fit in?

  BBZ
  I think that this is not the same Rabbi Yedidya Jaffa, I found a source (link below) that this Rabbi Yedidya Jaffe was the son of Reb Israel Zuta JAFFE son of Reb Ahron Jaffe who was the the son of Reb Israel Saba (changed name to Jaffe) who was the son-in-law of Rabbi Joseph TEOMIM FRANKEL, Rabbi of Cracow.

  In thi link below, you can listed chilren of this Rabbi Israel jaffe:

  And if I am correct in my previuos post, we are talking about Rabbi Yiroel Jaffe (or Yufeh) of Suwolk-Subolk, who printed the Toras Haolah of the Rema”h (Rabbi Moshe Iserlis of Cracow) with his commentary named Ishie Yisroel.

  See link, with the Sefer with somewhat 15-20 fascinating Haskamahs.

  woe! you guys are awesome! the best DD yet!

  YD, i think you nailed it, he’s buried in the Suwalker section, can get closer than that.

  In that sefer he signs off his name with SHA”TZ – does that stand for Shliach Tzibbur – that explains his title as REV. Would that make him a Chazzan?

  YD, according to your link above –
  1. Solomon Jaffe buried in that section is his son.
  2. He was 73yo – his headstone fell (or was vandalized) the wrong way.

  I came through the Reb Yedidya Yaffa Shatz of Sauvolk, But according to the years it’s probably not that same one. It makes more sense that this is the Yedidya i mentioned above.

• 9 Ben Bee Zee // Feb 2, 2010 at 3:03 pm

  So you wanna say that he’s the one who published the Toras Haola? (in 1853 Rabbi Jaffa was then 50 years)

  If only we could get a look at that tombstone!!!! Perhaps a few of us can get together and turn it over, any volunteers?
